Echoes of the Path
A solitary moment, where the journey pauses to reflect on its meaning. The path once walked with dreams and speed now calls for thought and depth. Sometimes, moving slowly allows us to see what we’ve truly gained along the way.
Challenge:
What is it to age? Is age only a number, or do our bodies and the various parts show deterioration? Prakash's short write-up is thought-provoking. See how you can collaborate with the old man in the ink drawing.
Please remember that the haiku needs to be strong and a stand-alone poem in haibun. A weak haiku robs the haibun of its strength.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. Only two haibun per poet per prompt.
2. Share your best-polished pieces.
3. Please do not post something in a hurry or something you have just written.
Let it simmer for a while.
4. Post your final edited version on top of your original verse.
5. Don't forget to give feedback on others' poems.
We are delighted to open the comment thread for you to share your unpublished haibun (within 300/250 words) to be considered for inclusion in haikuKATHA monthly journal.
Important: Since we're swamped with submissions, and our editors are only human, mistakes can happen. Please, please, remember to put your name, followed by your country, below each poem, even after revisions. It helps our editors; they won't have to type it in, saving them from potential typos. Thanks a ton!
